Easy Soba Noodle Recipe
If you are looking for a quick, delicious, plant-based lunch or dinner idea – we have got you covered! This is my go-to soba noodle recipe and it always hits the spot. Made with simple, real ingredients and super versatile (eat it as-is, with tofu or even grilled chicken if that is what you are looking for). Cannot wait for you to try this one!
Why This Recipe Works
- Sauce: the sauce is packed with flavor and we thicken it with a little slurry.
- Quick: it only takes a few minutes for this whole meal to come together.
- Serving options: you can eat it as-is or with some tofu or other protein.
Soba Noodle Ingredients
- soy sauce: I highly recommend using the Kikkoman brand for this – I have found it works best in this recipe.
- ginger + garlic: these add so much flavor!
- sesame oil: I love the depth of flavor this create!
- lemon juice: adding a touch of acidity.
- mirin: (use rice vinegar if you can’t find it) this also adds some acidity.
- slurry: 1/4 cup cold water + 2 tablespoon cornstarch is what makes up our slurry! So easy!
- soba noodles: you should be able to find these at most grocery stores.
- avocados + edamame + carrots + cilantro: these are my recommended toppings, but feel free to change it up!
Tip, make the Soy Ginger sauce a head of time and then really all you need to do is cook the soba noodles and assemble your bowl as you see fit.
You will have leftovers, most likely, of the Soy Ginger sauce. This is a good thing people. Save it and marinate some chicken in it and serve over rice with some broccoli. There. I have just planned two meals for you this week. 🙂
How to Make Soy Ginger Soba Noodles
Combine your sauce ingredients in a small saucepan.
Make a slurry and then whisk that into your sauce to thicken.
Cook your soba noodles al dente according to the package instructions.
Divide the soba noodles between bowls and add in the toppings.
Enjoy!

Made this recipe tonight and it was so good! Everything comes together quickly and the sauce is amazing. I threw in some grilled tofu to add a little protein and served it along side TWS roasted broccolini. Delicious!
